Miss Behaves Game Show
Dr Sketchys Edinburgh Top Banana Award
This show had us screaming in our seats and taking the plunge into this manically fast and furious game show. Miss Behave and Harriet steal our hearts with their humor, banter and down right mental behavior its completely infectious and sometimes quite dangerous but my goodness its worth it. a Fully interactive experience that motivates and encourages even the shyest of the shy to get stuck in and not be afraid to do so.

Dr Sketchys Edinburgh Top Banana Award
Dixey is amazing from beginning to end. The show that keeps on giving it will take your breath away and leave you astounded.
Frank Sanazi Das Vegas Nights 3
Dr Sketchys Edinburgh Top Banana Award
A high impact show of exceptional standards. This show does exactly what it says on the tin. A complete knock out not for the easily offended, no one does parody this well, all performances were perfect from start to finish the inclusion of new material kept the show fresh and the different acts set a riotous pace that perfectly complemented the legend that is Frank.
